scripture

 

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

 

En Espanol, 2 Corintios 4:6

 

quote

 

We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves.  The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God.  That is what the Christian life is all about.

message

 

Greetings!  I hope everyone is well.  I am back from Kabul, Afghanistan.  Yes, you read correctly.  We left the day after Christmas, spent New Year’s there, and returned last Wednesday.  My folks have lived there for over a year and a half now.  My stepdad works as head of security at a hospital and my mom as a second grade teacher.  It is a rough place but they are very much enjoying their time among the Afghan people. 

 

scripture

 

Matthew 5:14-16

Jesus taught, "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

 

En Espanol, Mateo 5:14-16

 

thought

 

Darkness and light cannot coexist in the same space.  Dark shrinks back from light.  Light consumes darkness and not vice versa.
